Answer #1

E(X + 10) = E(X) + 10 = 20 + 10 = 30

SD(X + 10) = SD(X) + SD(10) = 3 + 0 = 3

E(2X) = 2 * E(X) = 2 * 20 = 40

SD(2X) = 2 * SD(X) = 2 * 3 = 6

E(3X - 2) = 3 * E(X) - 2 = 3 * 20 - 2 = 58

SD(3X - 2) = 3 * SD(X) - 0 = 3 * 3 = 9

E(3X + 4Y) = 3 * E(X) + 4 * E(Y) = 3 * 20 + 4 * 35 = 200

SD(3X + 4Y) = sqrt(Var(3X + 4Y)) = sqrt(32 * Var(X) + 42 * Var(Y)) = sqrt(9 * 9 + 16 * 25) = 22

E(X - 2Y) = E(X) - 2 * E(Y) = 20 - 2 * 35 = -50

SD(X - 2Y) = sqrt(Var(X - 2Y)) = sqrt(Var(X) + (-2)2 * Var(Y)) = sqrt(9 + 4 * 25) = 10
